I felt absolutely justified in my impulse buy. I use my camera more often than I use all of my bicycles put together. And yes, someday I will purchase a proper DSLR, but I'm not yet to the point as a hobbyist where I take pictures for the purpose of taking pictures. I take pictures to document my life, so my priorities include a camera that's portable, easy to use, and at least somewhat durable. Here's the first picture I took with my new camera: My cat getting into a bowl of cereal. Oh, Cady.
On Tuesday Bill and I headed out for an evening ride. He suggested a good ride for "clearing out the cobwebs," and a completely new route to me: Mount Dean Stone. Because of the wonders of Bill's GPS, I know the beta for this ride included 26.72 miles of mountain biking with 3,822 feet of climbing, a maximum elevation of 6,203 feet, an average temperature of 47 degrees and 1,103 calories burned (Bill's calories. He's taller than me, but also has a resting heart rate that's down around 30 beats a minute. So I'm guessing I went through even more Bridge Pizza Points.)
In this photo, I think Bill is saying, "I'm so blissfully happy to be climbing 3,000 feet of loose gravel fireroads that are still covered in ice from the night before." I'm so glad to have found a cycling friend who thinks like me. :-)
I immediately put the Lumix to the ultimate test: Using it in its automatic setting, handheld whilst pedaling a bicycle on a rough road, in low flat bad evening light, zoomed in. I'd say it didn't do wholly bad. It managed to choose a fast shutter speed and grab some nice color and somewhat sharp — if grainy — clarity.
Even though we missed the best side of sunset while we were still buried in the canyon, the pink light up high still stopped us in our tracks.
Dean Stone is one of the higher peaks just outside the city, and thus is covered in all manner of towers. We sat on the razed and graded summit for more than 20 minutes, soaking up the startlingly mild, windless air, and sloughing off the cobwebs. I feel very fortunate to have found so many good people in Missoula in such a small amount of time, especially people like Bill, who really is a kindred spirit. The kind of friend who thinks so similarly to me that it's sometimes eerie. We find that we always have a lot to talk about, as long as we ride long enough and climb high enough to really open up.
So we went out again on Wednesday, back into the jaw-dropping beautiful evening, for a more singletrack-heavy ride that was 19.6 miles with 2,641 feet of climbing, an average temperature of 49 degrees and 746 calories burned.
At the top of the Sam Braxton trail, Bill asked me why I wasn't playing with my new camera. "It's completely dark," I said.

I hope y'all like 2012 LeFlore County JH Tournament Guide
Since I sort of did not make the 2011 LeFlore County Junior High Tournament Guide the way it should have been created a year ago, I pledged to myself that I would make amends for it when the 2012 Guide was created. So, I did.Not aware of the fact that the junior high and high school LCT Guides are actually the programs used by the fans during the yearly events, I failed to put numeric rosters of the 17 boys and 17 girls junior high teams in the 2011 Junior High Guide. This year, the numeric rosters are there, and you can get a sneak peak at this year's JH Tournament brackets and see who will be playing for your schools' teams as the 2012 JH Tournament Guide is in today's edition.As I did in Tuesday's edition, I want to truly thank all the coaches, yearbook teachers, parents and players for helping me with getting the teams' photos and numeric rosters for this season's JH Guide.And while I'm at it, I want to wish all the teams good luck in this season's tournament.Year-In-Review Sports Section Coming Jan. 7, 2012The 2011 Year-In-Review Sports Special Section is scheduled to be published in next Saturday's edition, Jan. 7, 2012. We'll take a look back at the key local events, and possibly some regional and national sports events, which took place in the year which ends at tonight's end.On that note, I wish you all a Happy New Year and a successful 2012.

The increases to the annual MIP are effective for case numbers assigned on or after April 1, 2013
March 4, 2013
FHA will increase its annual mortgage insurance premium (MIP) for most new mortgages by 10 basis points or by 0.10 percent. FHA will increase premiums on jumbo mortgages ($625,500 or larger) by 5 basis points or 0.05 percent, to the maximum authorized annual mortgage insurance premium. These premium increases exclude certain streamline refinance transactions.

The changes outlined below are effective for all mortgages with FHA case numbers assigned on or after June 3, 2013:
FHA will also require most FHA borrowers to continue paying annual premiums for the life of their mortgage loan. Commencing in 2001, FHA cancelled required MIP on loans when the outstanding principal balance reached 78 percent of the original principal balance. However, FHA remains responsible for insuring 100 percent of the outstanding loan balance throughout the entire life of the loan, a term which often extends far beyond the cessation of these MIP payments. FHA's Office of Risk Management and Regulatory Affairs estimates that the MMI Fund has foregone billions of dollars in premium revenue on mortgages endorsed from 2010 through 2012 because of this automatic cancellation policy. Therefore, FHA will once again collect premiums based upon the unpaid principal balance for the entire period for which FHA is entitled. This will permit FHA to retain significant revenue that is currently being forfeited prematurely.
This second table shows the previous and the new effective annual MIP rates for loans with an LTV of less than or equal to 78 percent and with terms of up to 15 years.
Term < 15 Years
|Base Loan Amt.
|Previous MIP
|New MIP
|Any Amount
|0 bps
|45 bps
Borrowers are currently able to access FHA-insured financing no sooner than three years after they have experienced a foreclosure, but only if they have re-established good credit and qualify for an FHA loan in accordance with FHA's fully documented underwriting requirements. It has come to FHA's attention that a few lenders are inappropriately advertising and soliciting borrowers with the false pretense that they can somehow "automatically" qualify for an FHA-insured mortgage three years after their foreclosure. This is simply not true and such misleading advertising will not be tolerated.

Internationally renowned author, lecturer, radio and TV personality Charles J. Adams III will be signing his latest book, Haunted Boyertown, at a special appearance to benefit the Boyertown Area Historical Society.
The event, to be held Oct. 15 at 7:00 p.m. at St. John�s Fellowship Hall, 45 North Reading Avenue in Boyertown, will also include a chance to meet and hear the author speak on the topic of �Ghosts and Supernatural Phenomenon.�
Adams, who was born and still resides in Reading, is the author of more than a dozen books on the supernatural and has spoken nationwide on the subject of ghosts. He has been featured on the History Channel�s �Haunted America: New York� and �Haunted America: Philadelphia� programs, and has been a featured speaker at the International Ghost Hunters Alliance and GhostWorld Convention, most recently held in Gettysburg, PA. Adams has spoken at regional paranormal conferences in New Jersey, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, and has been interviewed on ghostly topics in England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, South Africa, and on several American radio and television stations.
Adams has also organized and escorted tours of haunted places in the United States, England, and Scotland.
He has produced, written, and conducted �ghost tours� in Lancaster County, Reading, Hamburg, and Philadelphia; Cape May, N.J., Greenwich Village, and New York City. His stories have been selected for inclusion in anthologies including �Classic American Ghost Stories� (August House Publishing). At the personal request of the producer M. Night Shyamalan, his book, �Bucks County Ghost Stories� was used as a prop in the 2002 movie, �Signs,� which stars Mel Gibson.
Haunted Boyertown features stories of 22 Boyertown-area sites reputed to be occupied by the supernatural. You can read about the housekeeper who committed suicide by hanging and who returns to greet visitors in her former bedroom. Read about the ghost who throws chairs. Meet the specter who lets his presence be known through a photocopy machine.
In addition to the book signing, the Historical Society will feature a ghost walk through Boyertown, highlighting local sites alleged to be haunted by the supernatural. The walk will begin at 8:30 p.m., following the Adams� lecture.
Haunted Boyertown can be purchased on Sept. 28 at St. Luke�s Lutheran Church Festival in Obelisk and at the Belsnickel Craft Show on Friday, Nov. 29 and Sat., Nov. 30 at the Boyertown Area High School. Copies can also be purchased at the Historical Society, located at 43 South Chestnut Street, Boyertown or by visiting the Society�s website at www.boyertownhistory.org.
Tickets for the book signing and ghost walk are $27 for general admission and $20 for members. Tickets to the book signing only are $20 for general admission and $15 for members. All proceeds benefit The Boyertown Area Historical Society.
For additional information, visit www.boyertownhistory.org or call the Historical Society at (610) 367-5255.

Now that's a tree! Not quite moi, but definitely fabulous. I like the fact that it's at the same time totally OTT yet elegant through the choice of colour - or lack of it to be more precise xo

After successfully reaching a Kickstarter goal of raising $1 million in less than a day last week, actor and television host LeVar Burton and "Reading Rainbow" is back for more. The Kickstarter campaign was re-launched with a goal of $5 million.
By last Friday, the campaign had raised twice its minimum fundraising goal of $1 million to bring the educational children's program to the Web and 1,500 classrooms for free. Burton then wrote on his Kickstarter page a "stretch" goal of $5 million to provide free access to 7,500 classrooms and access on mobile devices. The new deadline is July 2.
As of today, the campaign has raised more than $3.5 million from 77,451 backers, making it one of the most successful campaigns on the crowd-funding site.

But believe it or not, the "Reading Rainbow" campaign is not the fastest Kickstarter campaign to reach $1 million. These are:
This campaign, to expand a line of "high-quality plastic gaming miniatures," had a Kickstarter fundraising goal of $30,000. It raised more than $3.1 million from 14,964 backers in 2.7 hours. It was funded on Oct. 26, 2013.
Fans of the TV show "Veronica Mars," starring Kristen Bell, weren't very happy when it ended in 2007. So the show's creator and executive producer, Rob Thomas, turned to Kickstarter with a goal of raising $2 million. The campaign raised more than $5.7 million from 91,585 backers. It was funded on April 12, 2013, and the movie was released in March 2014.
Created by artist Stefan Pokorny, a self-described Dungeons and Dragons enthusiast, Drawven Forge is dungeon terrain for gamers. In just over 5 hours, this campaign raised more than $2.1 million, well past the goal of $100,000, from 3,950 backers. The project was funded on April 8, 2014.
This campaign for a role-playing game had a goal of $900,000 but raised more than $4.1 million from 74,405 backers. The project was funded on April 5, 2013.
The campaign for this Android-based video game console raised nearly $8.6 million from 63,416 backers, with only a $950,000 goal. The project was funded on Aug. 9, 2012.
|Bring Reading Rainbow
Actor LeVar Burton, from the film "Roots" and the television show "Star Trek: The Next Generation," has returned to the spotlight with his Kickstarter campaign. The campaign quickly reached $1 million in only 10.83 hours. Based on the success, Burton extended the campaign until July 2, allowing people to pledge as little as $5. Backers who invest $10,000 can get an "ultimate Star Trek 'visor' package" in which you can join Burton and Star Trek actor Brent Spiner (who played "Data") for a private dinner in Los Angeles. Oh, and you can wear the visor that Burton wore in the show.

The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) in Science Education degree program and the MAT in Mathematics Education degree program are designed to enhance the content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) teachers. Both programs share a set of core courses that allow students to explore knowledge common to both disciplines.
Students in science education or mathematics education can then collaborate to integrate science and mathematics education and to provide a better education for their students. Because many graduates of these MAT programs will rise to leadership positions such as department head or science and mathematics coordinator, the core courses provide fundamental skills in cognition, education research and assessment so that MAT graduates can evaluate educational strategies and thoughtfully advise their colleagues about them. The STEM content courses provide additional depth in specific science and mathematics content areas. Students may elect to write and defend a research-based thesis.
Both programs are designed for individuals with significant ability in a science or mathematics discipline and a serious commitment to teaching. They provide forward-looking opportunities for professional development for both new and experienced teachers.
School: School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics
Program: Mathematics Education
Catalog page: MAT
Letters of recommendation: Required
Applicants must submit three letters of recommendation from individuals who can judge the candidate's probability of success in graduate school. Use the electronic request form in the graduate application to submit the letters. Contact the graduate academic program department if you have any questions.
Admissions essay required: Yes
Deadlines: University deadlines apply.
Other application requirements:
Applicants for the upper elementary/middle school mathematics and applications track should have mastered pre-calculus and have experience with mathematical problem solving (e.g., MATH 3307 or equivalent). Applicants for the high school mathematics track should have at least one year of calculus, a course in linear algebra, and a junior-level course involving mathematical proof.

If icy weather leaves you pulling on the same boots you've worn since 8th grade, it's time for an update. This time around, reach for shoes that have the requisite clunky bottoms—but also enough style spunk to navigate both the great outdoors and campus. Think classic boots but with a major boost of attitude.
For a practical take on the pumped-up wedge trend, try a foamy platformed style from Forever 21. If rain is an issue, opt for rubber wellies from Capelli or Rag and Bone's new collab with Hunter. Leather gets a tough update with textured treds—we like pairs from Asos and BC Footwear. Not swamped in snow? Take advantage and try a bright white cut-out style from Black Poppy.
Which is your favorite? Tell us in the comments!

Tuesday, December 4, 2012
Associated Press
Brandon Knight scored 17 points, Kyle Singler and Tayshaun Prince had 15 apiece and the Detroit Pistons beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 89-79 on Monday night for their fifth straight home win.
Detroit is 1-10 on the road but 5-3 at home, and the Pistons have recovered a bit after losing their first eight games of the season. They beat Phoenix by 40 last week in their previous home game, and the victory over Cleveland wasn't really as close as the score indicated.
Detroit led 56-39 at halftime after holding the Cavaliers to 29 percent shooting.
Cleveland was without guard Dion Waiters, who sat out with a sprained left ankle. Anderson Varejao had 17 points and 18 rebounds for the Cavs.
The Cavaliers had scored 113 and 117 points in their previous two games, but the Pistons shut them down for the most part. Jason Maxiell and rookie Andre Drummond set the tone on a night Detroit would block 13 shots. The Cavs struggled to convert around the basket, and they went 3 of 20 from 3-point range.
A dunk by Maxiell put the Pistons ahead 14-4, and it was 30-17 after the first quarter.
Rodney Stuckey's layup off a nice pass from Brandon Knight made it 49-27, and although Cleveland chipped away at the deficit, Stuckey's floater to end the third quarter made it 75-63.
The Cavs cut it to six on two free throws by Varejao with 1:54 remaining, but they didn't score again.
Varejao has nine straight double-doubles and at least 15 rebounds in each of those games. Cleveland had 33 second-chance points in Saturday's 118-117 loss to Portland, but had only 14 against the Pistons.
Greg Monroe had nine points and 14 rebounds for Detroit. Maxiell had 12 points, six rebounds and five blocks.
Drummond had seven points, 12 rebounds and three blocks. In the fourth quarter, he grabbed an offensive rebound, flipped a pass to Charlie Villanueva for a dunk and then skipped gleefully back down the court.

Preserve Visit Guidelines
Guidelines to Visiting Nature Conservancy Preserves
Nature Conservancy preserves are private properties. They are managed to protect our fragile resources – native species and plant communities. You will find few trails or facilities. The trails we do maintain or create are designed to steer visitors away from the most fragile portions of the preserve and toward those areas that can handle more use. Please do not journey off the trail. Signs requesting visitors to not hike beyond certain areas are placed there to ensure your safety as well as frail natural communities. We ask you to please tread lightly and leave the nature preserve in the same or better condition as you found it.
Most of our preserves are open to visitors, but only for low-impact recreational activities (see list below). Those preserves harboring species or natural communities at risk, however, are not open to the public.
You will not find any staff on duty at Nature Conservancy preserves. Therefore, we ask you to prepare for your visit and take proper precautions while on site.
Preparation: The Key to Safe & Enjoyable Visit
Wear comfortable footwear suitable for hiking, but please do not wear heavy, cleated boots – these damage the trails. To protect yourself from ticks, poison ivy or poison sumac, wear long pants and tuck them into your socks. No matter which season of the year it is, each person in your party should bring a full water bottle. Dehydration is a serious risk at any time of the year.
Many of our preserves allow deer hunting from October through the first week of January, so wearing blaze orange is suggested when hiking in these areas during hunting season. For more information on why we allow hunting and a list of preserves that allow hunting, click here.
What to Bring

Marriage Perks: Episode 170
1:05:15 –
Episode Segments
Are We Compatible
Guests: Sandy Janzen, James Groesbeck,
24:34 –
He's into sports; she's into intellectual pursuits. She likes to discuss things deeply; he's not quite the thinker and processor that she is. Are they compatible? Can they have a successful, meaningful marriage? Counselors James Groesbeck and Sandy Janzen offer some suggestions to determine what is necessary for couples in the realm of compatibility, and what actually makes for healthy and refreshing differences.
Settling for Mr. Good Enough
Guests: Lori Gottlieb,
27:47 –
Lori Gottlieb thought she knew what she wanted in a man, and she assumed she'd get it. She also wanted love, companionship and a family. But at 37 she was still single. Racing against her own biological clock, she signed up for a sperm donor, got pregnant and had her son. She was now a single parent, and dating was bringing her no closer to Mr. Right. She wrote about her frustrations a few years later in an article that became the New York Times bestselling book Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough. It's an exploration of the assumptions women make about our future mates, and how, Lori argues, we're shutting ourselves off from some wonderfully eligible marriage partners as a result. Lori talks with me about her journey (she's still single at 42) and how she came to embrace these truths that honestly could've been pulled from the pages of Boundless. This is a great conversation with a woman who, while not writing as a Christian nor from a Christian perspective, offers via her experience and the wisdom she gleaned a sobering dose of reality for women everywhere.
I'm Glad I Got Married
Guests: Diane Ingolia, Roger Ingolia, Ben Rob, Martha Krienke, Brie Rob,
24:34 –
We know how hard marriage can be, but did you know it can also be fun? In honor of the Royal Wedding and in response to your e-mails, we're talking about marriage's upsides this week. Two couples join us in the studio to share how marriage has changed and enriched them, what makes marriage truly a team effort, and how crafting a life story together with your spouse can be the best adventure you've ever known.

Start off with 2-4 teaspoons of creatine a day for the first few weeks and then after that you can drop it back to 1-2 teaspoons as a maintenance dose mate.
With the protein you always want to take it straight after your workout as this is when your muscles will really soak it up. You can have a shake on your rest days from the gym (just depends on whether you think you can afford to use it 7 days a week or just on your training days). For the creatine you could do one dose through the day mixed with juice or water, then the other dose you can just throw into your protein shake. Easy as that !!

The Suzuki V-Strom 1000 is perhaps the most intriguing motorcycle to come from Hamamatsu in a long while, as the Japanese brand has been dormant ever since the economic dustup of 2009 and onward. A revival of new motorcycles from Suzuki, the V-Strom 1000 also represents the OEM finally building a proper offering for the ADV segment.
Building upon the V-Strom 1000, our friend Luca Bar imagines new life coming into Suzuki because of the adventure-tourer, and it isn't hard to imagine other new machines from the V-Strom's platform.
For a product line that is full of holes, one such plug could be the revival of the Suzuki SV1000 series, and Bar has put together both a naked and half-fairing editions of this well-loved model.

Naked man steals bicycle in Reading
Officers pursued suspect for several blocks
Naked man steals bicycle in Reading
Officers pursued suspect for several blocks
READING, Pa. —
Reading police spent part of the early morning Easter Sunday chasing a naked man on a bicycle that was reported stolen.
Police said two officers patrolling the city about 2:45 a.m. Sunday were flagged down by a man who said someone had just assaulted him and stolen his bicycle.
He pointed to the suspect, who was riding the wrong way on a one-way street and who ignored calls to halt and warnings that a stun gun would be used.
Officers pursued the naked man for several blocks and were finally able to grab him and pin him to the ground.
Police said the 19-year-old suspect will be facing charges including robbery, theft, fleeing police, resisting arrest and indecent exposure.

So I've been thinking about how to make a new down underquilt...trying to maximize warmth and utility and minimize weight. Gonna try some things I haven't done yet, but I wanted to ask a few questions and get your comments on the ideas first.
1 - Length. I think it's gonna be a half-quilt so I can carry a sit pad/torso pad to use under my legs...maybe 40".
2 - Width. What's the narrowest underquilt you've used? I think I could get away with ~30" if I had to, but I want a little more comfort than that. But I don't think I want to go over 40". What have y'all used? Advantages/disadvantages?
3 - Shape. I'm gonna make it a bathtub shape since it's a single-use item. Might even put some shaping into the silnylon layer like the Speer Snug-fit has, but I'm not sure that's needed since it's only a half-quilt. The outer layer will be darted so compression shouldn't be an issue. It might even have an assymetrical shape...even on the DownHammock I see some extra space on the corners that could be trimmed off. Ideas?
4 - Thickness. Haven't figured this one out yet. I kinda want a 1-1.5" quilt for the warmer seasons here in North Cackalacky, but I also want a really thick one (3.5"?) for cold weather.
5 - Once I decide on thickness, I'll figure out the baffle pattern. I'd like 3 oz of down per chamber to make future models easier since that's what down comes in. What baffle pattern do you think will work well for a half-underquilt?
6 - Breathability. I've seen the effects of a simple layer of silnylon with no insulation in warming me up before (my first trip w/ the HH BULA)...I'm gonna make the layer that touches the hammock from grey silnylon to to see if that adds warmth. It'll also keep my body moisture from getting into the down...which means it'll stay in the hammock. Hopefully this won't give me the problems that laying on a CCF pad gives me...if it does, the next model won't use silnylon. I just want to give this one a try to see if sil adds any warmth over DWR - If I get the design right, I might make another from DWR on both sides to see how it works. (Can never have too many underquilts, right? Right?!) Opinions on using the sil like that?
7 - Elastic? I was thinking about putting some elastic around parts of the perimeter to snug it up, like the Potomac has, only lighter and not adjustable. And not around the whole perimeter. Where are the strategic places to put the minimum amount of elastic to have the maximum effect?
8 - How would you attach it to the hammock? I'm thinking about sewing small loops to the hammock's edges, then using shockcord/cordlocks to slip through the loops and tighten. That should minimize the length of the shockcord and eliminate heavy biners. Anyone tried this method, or have a better one?
So this is what I do at night when I can't sleep - lay in bed and think about this stuff. Now you can too!! Help me out here, folks!

Interesting news coming from Qualcomm today where Qualcomm's Snapdragon boss Raj Talluri came out to basically say there is no real point to nVidia's Project Shield and that it is basically useless. Following that statement Raj Talluri went on to say that Qualcomm won't be building anything to compete with Project Shield either and that there is no real need for a dedicated Android device for games.Ironically, the Xperia Play which was, for the most part, a dedicated Android gaming device came with a Snapdragon chipset. While Raj does believe the future lies with mobile gaming, the concept to need a dedicated device for it is a silly one. We are sure most gamers would disagree with this line of thinking, Raj goes on to say that using a controller like the MOGA provide the same experience for the most part.Read more

SAN BRUNO - The governor's proposed budget and his plan to prevent deeper school cuts by extending some temporary taxes with a public vote are what California needs to protect schools as they reel from the 18,886 educator pink slips reported across the state so far, leaders of the Education Coalition said today at a news conference with State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson.
Today is the annual deadline for school districts to issue preliminary pink slips for educators, but not all have been reported yet. Meeting at Portola Elementary School here, Torlakson said, "It's time for the Legislature to put the governor's tax extension on the ballot. People deserve the right to make this decision – it's what democracy is all about. My message to California's teachers is simple: Hang in there. Have heart and have hope. We're going to get through this crisis, and turn this state around."
CTA President David A. Sanchez said lawmakers must protect schools. "On behalf of the 325,000 members of the California Teachers Association, I join with the entire Education Coalition today in delivering this message," Sanchez said. "Lawmakers must approve the governor's tax extension plan to give our students a chance at a better education and California a chance at a better future. Investing in our schools, higher education and the economy are the most important things we can do to protect our communities and our state."
"As a long-time school board member I have faced many challenging decisions, but I have never been faced with education cuts of such great proportion," said California School Boards Association President-elect Jill Wynns, a school board member in San Francisco Unified. "I am truly concerned that the magnitude of these ongoing cuts seriously hinders our ability to provide students the education needed to ensure a strong economy and a well-educated workforce."
In addition to teacher pink slips, about 6,000 education support professionals represented by the California School Employees Association could also lose their vital jobs, said Alameda Unified office manager Cindy Zecher, a member of the CSEA board of directors. "Parents are understandably upset about the conditions in many of our schools," Zecher said. "Maintenance, security, custodial and other critical services have already been cut down to the bare bones. Putting the tax extensions on the ballot gives parents the opportunity to prevent further cuts to these essential services that keep California's kids safe and healthy while they're at school."
"The children of California are impacted by the current budget crisis in many ways," said Carol Kocivar, president-elect of the California state PTA. "It is time for the adults to step up. Nearly one million PTA members from throughout California are expecting decisive action by our elected representatives. Let the voters decide!"
San Mateo County Superintendent of Schools Anne E. Campbell has seen first-hand the problems with overcrowding due to state cuts. "As a guest principal at Spruce Elementary School in the South San Francisco Unified School District last week during 'Principal for a Day', I observed a school of 621 students operating with a principal and two secretaries but no other administrative support for teachers, who were dealing with class sizes as high as 34 students," Campbell said. "This is stark proof that the 23 school districts in San Mateo County have sustained severe budget cuts over the past few years and are now down to the bare bones. If the state's K-12 education budget sustains another $5 billion in reductions, it would severely hamper our ability to serve students, and if that is compounded by deferrals of revenues to future years, our schools will face critical cash flow problems that could hamstring their operations."Due to state cuts, the San Bruno Park School District has pink-slipped 12 teachers, or nearly 10 percent of the district's educator workforce, said Jed Burnham, president of the San Bruno Education Association. "We are all in this fight together," Burnham said. "Student learning will suffer if the governor's budget plan is not adopted, and if his urgent call to extend temporary taxes falls on deaf ears."
Every child deserves a chance to learn and no child succeeds alone.

Game On: Amazon Removes the Buy Button for All Macmillan Books
On Friday, blogs noted an exchange between Walt Mossberg and Steve Jobs about ebooks. Steve told Walt that publishers hate Amazon and that they would be withholding their ebooks from Amazon. Late Friday, the "buy it now" button has disappeared from books by Julia Spencer Fleming, Lisa Kleypas, Louisa Edwards, Lora Leigh, and virtually every author who publishes through Tor, St. Martin's Press, and other Macmillan imprints.
A fight occurred between Hachette and Amazon in 2008 in the UK. Hachette wasn't happy with some of the terms that Amazon wanted (or so was reported) and thus Amazon removed the Buy It Now button. The dispute was settled and the Buy It Now button restored.
The reason that this hurts the publisher is because the only option that is available to readers is through the secondary market. Consumers who want the print version can easily get the title from a secondary seller, both in new and used versions. But the secondary market means no royalty for the publisher or the author. One publisher person told me that Amazon could comprise up to 15% of sales which, for a publisher, could mean the different between a profitable year and a non profitable one.
John Sargeant, CEO of Macmillan, is not an ebook fan.
But some publishers worry that the convenience of borrowing books electronically could ultimately cut into sales of print editions.
"I don't have to get in my car, go to the library, look at the book, check it out," said John Sargent, chief executive of Macmillan, which publishes authors like Janet Evanovich,Augusten Burroughs and Jeffrey Eugenides. "Instead, I'm sitting in the comfort of my living room and can say, "Oh, that looks interesting' and download it."
As digital collections grow, Mr. Sargent said he feared a world in which "pretty soon you're not paying for anything." Partly because of such concerns, Macmillan does not allow its e-books to be offered in public libraries.
Macmillan has had a very negative attitude toward ebooks. It has charged 50% more for the digital equivalent of the mass market paperback (usually $9.99 versus a paper copy which sells for $6.99-$7.99). In this link, the list price is $14.00 for a mass market. It delays the release of ebooks. Some books aren't released in ebook format at all (Tor books). Prices of ebooks aren't reduced even after the mass market versions are released. (I still await Julia Spencer-Fleming's books to be reduced).
What will Kindle owners do? Will they blame Amazon? Will Amazon tell them that Amazon wants to sell them the book at a good price but that the publisher is demanding that Amazon raise the price? This is a serious battle and I can't guess who will win.
UPDATE: I called customer support at Amazon and was told that if the Kindle version of the book was removed it was either because there was an error in the book or the publisher removed it. Amazon would make it available to Kindle owners if it could. I was told to click the "Tell the Publisher" button so that Amazon could relate to the publisher how many Kindle readers would like the book in Kindle format.
I asked about the missing "Buy It Now" button and asked if Amazon was in some dispute with Macmillan. I was told that sometimes Amazon likes to promote the Amazon Marketplace.

As colonial kitchen tricks such as pickling and canning come back into vogue, it's no wonder preserved fruits and veggies have hit the cocktail world. Exhibit A is this year's drink of spring: the shrub. No, it's not an herb or a leafy plant; it's a vinegar-based ingredient that more bartenders are making in-house and pairing with diverse spirits from gin to shochu to bourbon. "Shrubs were used back in the day when fruits and vegetables were much more seasonal than they are now," said Paul McGee, head bartender at RPM Italian, Bub City and forthcoming tiki bar Three Dots and a Dash. "You take the fruit or whatever flavor you want, add vinegar to it to pull out all the flavor and preserve it, like pickling. Then you add sugar to it afterward for sweetness." While vinegar in a drink might raise eyebrows, it doesn't taste as strange as it sounds. It adds tartness, but that's balanced by the sweetness of fruit and sugar and some savory flavors, too. Whatever your drink preference—fruity, fizzy, spicy or sweet—there's probably a shrub cocktail to suit you this season.

Andre Neverson was born in Trinidad on 5/5/64
to Denzil Humphrey and Erine Neverson. Neverson was raised by his
grandmother and an uncle from ages 4-18; during these years his mother
was living in the United States. Neverson is the 7th of 11 children.
Neverson came into the United States in 1981, and resided in this
country as a resident alien.
March 11, 1992 at 5:18pm in front of 151 E.34th St, Neverson got into a fight
with his girlfriend outside a medical school in Brooklyn, where she
worked. The woman's uncle came by and saw them fighting. When he tried
to intervene, Neverson became enraged, pulled a gun and shot the uncle
five times. The uncle survived, Neverson served five years in prison for
attempted murder and was paroled in November of 1998. Neverson was
deported from the United States criminally on 7/24/2000. At some point
in September of 2000, Neverson re-entered the country illegally on a
Jamaican passport purchased by his family.
On 7/8/2002 the NYPD found Patricia
Neverson, Neverson's sister, shot to death by Neverson, over an ongoing
argument about money. On July 11, 2002, NYPD found the body of Donna Davis,
Neverson's fiancée. NYPD states that Ms Davis broke off the relationship and that Neverson did not take that well. Ms Davis was last seen in Neverson's
Minivan. An investigation performed by the NYPD suggests she was
kidnapped then shot to death.
On November 6, 2002 at approximately 12:30am, Neverson, armed with a gun,
attempted to visit his 2 yr old daughter. The police were
contacted and a
canvas was conducted by the NYPD and USMS with negative results.
January 3, 2003 was the last known sighting of Neverson.
Neverson has been profiled on various local news broadcasts and Americas
Most Wanted 6 times. As a major case countless interviews have been
done, and every lead has been followed with negative results. Although
sightings continue to be reported no new solid leads have been
Neverson has 2 murder warrants (pending) by the NYPD, an illegal
re-entry warrant by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and a
NY State Parole warrant for the previous attempted murder.

Mastering the Requirements Process
James Archer
24-26 March 2014; 11-13 November 2014, London
Requirements are the most misunderstood part of systems development, and yet the most crucial. Requirements must be correct if the rest of the development effort is to succeed. This workshop presents a complete process for eliciting the real requirements, testing them for correctness, and recording them clearly, comprehensibly and unambiguously.
Delegates will learn:
Determine your client's needs—exactly
Write requirements that are complete, traceable, and testable
Precisely define the scope of the project
Discover all the stakeholders—and keep them involved
Use up-to-date techniques such as storyboarding and e-collaboration
Get the requirements quickly, and incrementally

If I'm not wrong that same seiyuu, Nanri Yuuka, sang the insert + OP/ED songs for Madlax... FictionJunction YUUKA... but I might be wrong. I heard this some time ago, someone might have found out otherwise.
I really am interested to watch the movie, it has a very exciting feeling about it. The music helps in creating this wonderful thrilling mood... the plane flying at such heights and so on... Heh. Though Sayuri doesn't seem like a particularly extraordinary girl I think she's portrayed very well and for once I don't think I actually hate any of the characters for being annoying or unrealistic...

What's with all the different fansub groups releasing the trailers? If it's in theaters then won't it be awhile before it's out on DVD so it can be subbed?
And going by how amazing Voices of a Distant Star was I wouldn't be shocked if it's licensed quickly. I hope it's a little more happier though, man I teared up so much during Voices...
This does look very very good. I wonder if it has any chance to get released with subtitles in the US theaters and be nominated for best animation Oscar like Spirited Away?

plus it's pretty short compared to most films that get even a limited release. Hopefully it'll be at film/anime conventions, though, or just be released on DVD quickly
eitherway it has to be finished first, but you can't really rush something that only a handful of people are working on and even more so when you consider the quality of the work
power to the independed animators!

I'm hearing that there's something big holding this up, some kind of dispute, but I've got conflicting reports of what specifically. I've heard of everything from legal and licencing issues to problems with the final release to crazy stuff like internal bickering between the director, authors, studio. In short, you name it, I've probubly heard it. So all I can say is that since I don't have two sources that agree right now, I'm going to assume that it's something internal to the studio that's delaying this.
But give it time. It will eventualy be out. If it's anything like the previous releases by this guy, it will be worth the wait.

Well, there's been problems all along that have held it up time and again. It would move forward for a while, hit a wall, they'd fight through it, then advance some more, then hit a wall, etc. So this is no surprise. The part that's interesting is they have a december 10th planned and haven't changed it or moved it back any. So I would say that this is an expected hangup, ie one they planned on. So, unless you hear the date change sooner or later than Dec 10th, that's the last confirmed date of release I've gotten.

Yeah, try more like 2. This isn't one that's going to hit DVD in the states anytime soon. ADV is so backlogged right now with their big rush to licence spree that it will be at least two years on most titles (except the ones they rush to market) from the time the item was licenced.
Way to go ADV. You just screwed 90% of the american population for the next 2 years. Gauds, I hate ADV. But oh well. I honestly don't care cause I'm going to buy my DVD as an R2 and snag the subs from someone on the net as I refuse to buy from ADV for many, many reasons I don't care to recount.

Oh hot damn! That's great news!! It's not that I don't want to see it licenced, I do, just not by ADV. hehe. But it's also good news that I get to watch it in fansub before then since ADV doesn't have the licence. hehehe. Oh goody, goody.
And before you go ragging on me about being happy that it's not licenced, yes I plan to buy the dvd like all my other anime.

I saw multiple groups fansub Ghost In the Shell: Innocence even after the US release had been announced.
Anime movies being released theatrically are still a rarity so any that do get the deal I wish fansub goups wouldn't hurt their box office numbers by releasing a fansub.
Someone may say "I'll still see it in the theater, buy the dvd, etc..." well good for them, but for every person THAT DOES DO THAT. There's 2 or 3 who will just watch the fansub and skip seeing it in the theater.

Beauty blunder fixes in less than 5 minutesPosted: Updated:
If smudged lipstick and too much foundation have you down, Zethina, a Valley-based makeup artist, offers ways to fix these beauty blunders and more in a pinch.
It's a bummer when it happens but did you know a clean concealer brush can fix any lipstick mistake? The celebrity makeup artist suggests keeping one handy in your purse to erase a smudge and then use powder to keep the line sharp.
Too much powder? No worries! Zethina says water does the trick. Just pat the water lightly under the eyes and around your face.
What about false eyelashes? Keeping them in place can be tricky. Sometimes lashes can lift in embarrassing places. Zethina says a toothpick and lash glue will always save the day. Just place a tiny amount of glue on the tip of the toothpick and dab it on the lash line. Then place the lash where the glue is and you should be good to go.
Finally, want brighter eyes without the mess of a Visine streak down your face? Zethina suggests using a Q-tip and Visine. Place a generous amount of Visine on the Q-tip and dab it in the corner of your eyes.

When I first made the decision to go to law school, I did everything that was suggested – I ordered all the LSAT study books, dedicated all of my time to studying for the LSAT, and ordered books such as Law School Confidential and [book on how to take tests].
However, nowhere in those books did it mention the importance of networking. As an introverted person, it took some growing pains for me to adjust to the idea. Networking is great for a multitude of reasons – one, it gives you a deeper understanding of what attorneys actually do. Two, you are able to connect with attorneys and other professionals working in the field you're interested in. Three, it gives you a chance to step out of that law school bubble. And four, it builds your professional network.
Traditionally, law schools have given advice on how to reach out to alumni through their database, but there are actually an abundance of opportunities to network with attorneys without leaving campus. These opportunities include events sponsored by student organizations, the career office, and law conferences/symposiums.
Picture this scenario. You are at a panel about data-privacy sponsored by the Public Interest Law Association at your school. At first you were lured to the event with the promise of free food and wine, however, once you get to the event, you realize that none of your friends are there, that there are many attorneys standing around talking to each other. As a 1L with just 2 weeks under your belt, perhaps you feel a bit intimidated facing actual attorneys. What do you do? What do you say? Well, as someone who faced a similar situation, here are three pieces of advice that I wish someone told me.
And finally, go to a wide variety of events. Don't restrict yourself to going to events in the field of law that you're interested in. Go explore different fields – and going to events is the least stressful way of doing so. In my opinion, exploring different fields of law is one of the best parts of law school.
Now, go out onto the world, pick up that glass of wine (or don't), and network!
My name is Evelina Chang and I am a rising 2L at UC Hastings. While I was raised in a multitude of places (New York, Taipei, and San Jose) - my heart belongs to the Bay, and my desire is to give back to the community in it. Though I may be a law student now, before coming to law school, I was working as a Graphic Designer – which is still a passion of mine. Other non-law related hobbies include: food (baking/cooking/eating), exploring San Francisco, and NBA basketball. This summer, I am working at Bay Area Legal Aid with the Legal Barriers to Employment Project, where we provide comprehensive civil legal services to individuals on welfare who face legal barriers that prevent them from gaining employment.

February Rewind: Microbrew Festival
EUGENE, Ore. - The annual KLCC Microbrew Festival was held in the Exhibit Hall at the Lane Events Center earlier this month.
The event was hosted by KLCC 89.7, the local Eugene-area NPR affiliate and is their main yearly fundraiser.
Fifty-seven breweries were in attendance, with booths staffed mainly by volunteers organized by the radio station. Festival volunteers work a 4-5 hour shift and receive free beer tickets for their time.
Regular admission was $15 at the door and included a KLCC glass and three beer tickets. Additional tickets could be purchased inside the event.
In addition to the beer tasting, a major part of the fundraising was accomplished through a used CD and record sale. Albums were donated to the radio station throughout the year and then put up for sale at the Microbrew Festival.
"Every year there are people lined up outside for the opening on Friday," said host of KLCC's All Things Considered, Angela Kellner. "Many will pay the entry fee and never even drink a beer. They're here just for the record sale."
Live music was on stage for the festival, with Sol Seed playing Friday night, and with The Porch Band and Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside playing Saturday.

If you're pregnant, ideally you should not go to a place where malaria is present. If you have to travel, speak to your GP before taking any anti-malaria medication.
Ideally, you should not go to a place where there is malaria if you're pregnant. If you have to travel, speak to your GP before taking any anti-malaria medication.
Malaria is a serious illness, particularly for pregnant women. It can result in severe illness or death, and affects both the mother and unborn baby.
Malaria is spread by mosquito bites and is most common in tropical countries. Approximately 1,500 travellers are diagnosed with malaria in the UK each year.
If you're pregnant and cannot delay or cancel your trip, get your GP's advice before you travel. You need to start taking some anti-malaria medicines before you travel, so seek advice well before your departure date.
Your GP will advise you which, if any, anti-malaria medication to take. Remember to take it regularly and exactly as prescribed.
The type of medication you're prescribed will depend on where you're going, as the parasites that cause malaria vary around the world. Your GP will have up-to-date information about the most effective anti-malaria medication for your destination.
You can take some anti-malaria medicines safely during pregnancy, but should avoid others.
For example:
If you're due to travel to a place where malaria is present, you should delay trying for a baby while you're taking anti-malaria medication.
For more information, see Can I take malaria tablets if I'm trying for a baby?
While you're overseas, taking the steps below will help you avoid mosquito bites:

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - January 18, 2013 --A foreman has resigned. Another juror has fallen ill. And a third juror in a Philadelphia mob case suddenly recalls knowing something about a defense witness, and not liking him.
The jury is seemingly in chaos two weeks into deliberations. But federal Judge Eduardo Robreno has denied a mistrial Friday and instead ordered a newly-configured panel to start over.
The two-month trial involves 73-year-old reputed mob boss Joseph "Uncle Joe" Ligambi and six others.
They're charged with racketeering, gambling and loansharking.
Defense lawyers have called the prosecution's case "mob light" because of the lack of bloodshed.
The original foreman remains on the panel despite telling the judge his fellow juror's attack on the defense witness influenced him.
A prosecutor said Thursday he feared the jury was "wandering in the desert."

"Switch" Studies for People with Lipodystrophy
August 2000
A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!
Many people are considering or have already switched to a regimen without protease inhibitors in hopes of reversing fat redistribution, or lipodystrophy syndrome(s), and/or to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels that have been associated with using anti-HIV therapy. The studies below suggest that this strategy may be somewhat effective in reducing triglyceride and cholesterol levels. But there is conflicting information on whether it is effective in reversing fat redistribution.
Sydney Study ResultsA group from Sydney, Australia, which has conducted a great deal of lipodystrophy research, reported on a study of 80 people who either continued using protease inhibitors or switched to a regimen of abacavir (Ziagen) + adefovir + nevirapine (Viramune) + hydroxyurea (Hydrea). People who switched had a decrease in triglyceride and cholesterol levels, but there was no change in HDL, or "good cholesterol."
Additionally, those who switched had some reduction in abdominal fat (fat around the gut, or central/truncal obesity) but continued to lose peripheral fat from their arms and legs. They also lost, on average, about six pounds in body weight. It's not clear whether the weight loss is due to switching anti-HIV drugs or to other factors. (Several studies have reported that people on adefovir lose weight.) People who continued using protease inhibitors continued to gain abdominal fat.
Barcelona Study ResultsA study conducted in Barcelona followed 106 people who continued using combinations which included protease inhibitors or switched to ddI (didanosine, Videx) + d4T (stavudine, Zerit) + nevirapine. People who switched significantly lowered their cholesterol and triglyceride levels while those who continued using protease inhibitors saw no change in either measurement. Neither group experienced changes in glucose levels.
The loss of peripheral fat seemed to stabilize among people who switched to the nevirapine regimen, while those on protease inhibitors continued to lose peripheral fat. There were no significant reductions in abdominal fat in either group. There were also no differences in viral load rebounds (from below to above 50 copies HIV RNA) between the two groups after 36 weeks of the study. Those switching therapy had a small increase in CD4+ cell counts.
CommentaryThese and other results suggest that protease inhibitors are primarily responsible for the reported increases in triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Switching to a regimen without protease inhibitors does appear to lower these levels. However, it's unclear whether this is the case for all non-protease inhibitor drugs. For instance, several studies have shown that the non-nucleoside drug efavirenz (Sustiva) also increases triglyceride and cholesterol levels.
Changing anti-HIV therapies may or may not be useful in reversing fat redistribution. It is entirely possible that some of the side effects are due to specific drugs and is not drug-class specific. In other words, one protease inhibitor may increase triglyceride and cholesterol levels while another may not. Some emerging results support this theory.
For example, based on some relatively short-term studies, the protease inhibitor amprenavir (Agenerase) does not appear to increase triglycerides and cholesterol as much as the other currently available protease inhibitors. Other studies suggest that d4T affects the loss of peripheral fat more than the other nucleoside analogue drugs. Two studies have shown that people who switched from d4T to other nucleoside analogue drugs had increases in peripheral fat but no change in abdominal fat. These observations suggest that some fat redistribution may be reversible.

BOSS stopped recruiting new patients after the 30th September 2017, but UK patients diagnosed with SCFE or Perthes' Disease between 4thApril 2016 and 30thSept 2017 can still be enrolled
The British Orthopaedic Surgery Surveillance (BOSS) Study is a nationwide reporting mechanism to determine the epidemiology and outcomes in rare orthopaedic diseases. BOSS is based on other successful reporting systems in obstetrics (UKOSS) and Paediatric Surgery (BAPS-CASS.)
BOSS has been developed with a nationwide collaborative of children's orthopaedic surgeons, and is currently focusing on Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) and Perthes' Disease.
BOSS is based on the methodology of the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit (BPSU), which has developed an effective mechanism for surveillance of uncommon disorders in paediatrics.
Descriptive, case-control and cohort studies are conducted through a prospective, monthly case-collection scheme. Each month, up to four nominated individuals (e.g. the orthopaedic audit lead, paediatric orthopaedic lead, nurse specialist (i.e. children's/ hip fracture nurse) and an orthopaedic trainee) are asked to notify cases of the diseases under investigation. At the end of each month details of cases reported will be sent to the nominated lead, who will be asked to verify the completeness of the data – using a simple electronic 'tick box'. If no cases are reported it is important a nil return is confirmed.An electronic case report form is used to capture the details of each case. The data collection form seeks confirmation of the appropriate case definition and additional information on risk factors, management and outcomes according to the protocol relating to each condition. BOSS largely collects anonymised information only. Some centres also collect identifiable information and PROM data – these centres are 'open' on the NIHR portfolio. The BOSS methodology is undergoing ethics committee review.To maximise case identification patients, parents or any doctors can identify a case to be reported, and the BOSS team will follow-up with the lead clinician within the relevant centre.Monthly sweeps will also be undertaken of hospital episode statistics to identify new cases of diseases recorded within national statistics, and the lead clinician contacted where cases have not been recorded within the BOSS study.adidas womens jacket pink 6qUxCXS44

L'Auberge Weddings Bring Families Together
We're celebrating newlyweds, Kate and Mike whose recent California wedding at L'Auberge was nothing less than stunning and romantic. The couple was a bit nervous for their special occasion since it was to be the first time their families would meet!
Of course the evening went beautifully; full of laughter, emotion and love. Isari Flower Studio provided gorgeous florals and created a delicate carnation petal path for the aisle. Dinner was illuminated with candles and bold colored centerpieces. And True Photography captured many candid moments of their two families toasting, talking and laughing the night away.
Our favorite moment was when the groom said with a sparkle in his eye; "I wish I'd met her sooner," and his bride, with a blushing smile, looked into his eyes and squeezed his hand tight -(sigh). We wish to the two of them a lifetime of happiness together.
